“He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting.”

In the soft hours of morning,

I breathe in the crisp air;

Though Summer is in full bloom,

I feel Autumn is near.

 

The shift of the seasons

Surely approaches now;

The months faithfully follow

As our Lord God does allow.

 

Yea, faithful are the seasons

To the Lord’s perfect plan;

Faithful are the seasons,

Yet how faithful is man?

 

As a day surely ends

At its twenty-fourth hour,

So too do I yield

To God’s timing and power?

 

In the dawn of morning

Rises surely the glowing sun;

So too am I faithful

To God, the Eternal One?

 

The days continually march

In weeks ordered of seven;

Faithfully then do I march

To pearly gates of Heaven?

 

As Summer loses her warmth

To make way for Fall,

So too do I die to self to make

Jesus King of all?

 

Heed the seasons,

For much wisdom they bear;

He who has ears,

Let him listen, let him hear.

 

The days and the seasons

Display God’s plan in glory;

May our lives too then

Bear witness of His-story.

 

Lord, we worship You,

We embrace Your perfect plan;

We are Your humble instruments,

Each woman, each man.

 

Accept our lives as offerings,

We offer all to You now;

Your Way we will follow,

This, Lord Jesus, we vow.

 

Yea, as the faithful seasons,

So too may we glorify You;

We yield to Your plan, O Lord,

You are the Reason for all we do.

Besides the faithful seasons, how else do you see faithfulness in God’s creation?

How are you growing ever more faithful to God and His Kingdom?
